BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention provides wireless camera for a gun, and more particularly provides a wireless camera device for a gun which enables wireless transmission of images and sound source signals to a display device using a wireless camera, and enables carrying out infrared aiming based on the image signals, as well as enabling the display device to simultaneously display that from the infrared aiming.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

Problems of crime against law and order in modern society are becoming increasingly serious, and criminal techniques used are also becoming increasingly sophisticated, while the weapons being used are growing from strength to strength. Moreover, the weapon having the most lethality, and for a person with intent the easiest to obtain, is the firearm, in particular, a toy pistol can be converted into a firearm, or the firearm can be obtained through illegal means.

Moreover, criminals are obtaining increasingly varied types of firearms, thus it is becoming more dangerous for police. In particular, when criminals are unwilling to surrender after committing a crime, then the police will initiate an assault operation. However, the danger involved in carrying out such assault operations is extremely high because of the multitude of dead angles within a building the criminals can conceal themselves in, thus the police are unable to reliably know the positions where the criminals are concealing themselves, and so must carry out surveillance using diverse instruments, or carry out a step by step search using teams of police, however, the danger of such methods is extremely high. Hence, research and development teams have invented wireless cameras for guns, which enable a wireless camera to be installed to a firearm, the wireless camera being provided with a lens able to capture image frames, and the image frames captured by the lens are transmitted to a display screen. Moreover, light sources are simultaneously produced using the wireless camera to effect illumination. Hence, the person holding the firearm can be hidden by a covering while enabling the wireless camera to capture image frames by movement of the firearm, thereby enabling the person holding the firearm or other people to view the image frames captured by the wireless camera on the display screen, and thus effectively increase safety of the police when dealing with such situations.

However, the following problems and shortcomings are still in need of improvement when using the aforementioned wireless camera for a gun of the prior art:

The wireless camera for use with a gun of the prior art is only able to receive image signals, hence, when the person holding the gun is hiding, after obtaining knowledge from image signals captured and clearly understanding the range of the image signals captured by movement of the firearm, and after learning of the circumstances within that range, then the person must leave the covering and carry out aiming and firing operations. However, aiming and firing operations of the firearm cannot be carried out while the wireless camera is capturing image frames. Accordingly, after clearly understanding the range of the image signals captured, the person holding the gun must quickly leave the covering and carry out aiming and firing operations, yet leaving the covering raises the danger to the person holding the gun.

Hence, it is the desire of the inventor and manufacturers engaged in related art and purpose of the present invention to research, resolve and improve the problems and shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art.
